Package: xine-ui
Version: 0.99.5+cvs20070914-2.1
Severity: normal
Can we have an option to not have xine touch the mixer at all? If I
start up xine and find innapropriate sound volume levels, I change the
volume. Xine "helfully" restores the mixer volume to what it was
beforehand when I leave xine, and I start watching another movie... to
have wildly innappropriate sound volume levels again.
I just encountered this when xine had managed to remember a volume
level of 0. Everytime I started xine, I had no sound. Took me ages
to figure out what the hell was going on.
I don't want it to know about a "startup audio volume"
(volume.mixer_volume) or "restore volume at startup"
(volume.remember_volume) (currently unset on my machine). I don't
want it to ever touch the mixer settings. That's what my window
manager bindings to the mixer are for -- when *I* decide to change the
volume.
